The foxhunting vote fiasco - UK politics at its worst?







Conservatives said that Labour if they governed would run scared of the SNP and today the Conservatives have run scared from the SNP, weak , spineless government at its best

What do expect from this shameless shower of shysters?
Today they're discussing anti union laws that if implemented at a general election would've seen 270 Tory MPs not meeting that criteria.
But remember Ernie,we're all in it together.

What I don't understand is, if we can have English votes for English laws, why can't they have Scottish votes for Scottish laws, etc. and close down the Scottish Parliament, the Welsh Assembly, etc., get rid of the SNPs and save loads of money?

Feeling a bit conflicted about the Scottish Nationalists.

In one way, they are the party I would love to have voted for, and I wish there was a party like that in England standing for those values especially on education and the health service - because the Labour Party certainly aren't.

But their presence in such numbers in Westminster voting on English issues, when they have their own Parliament and separatist agenda, is just wrong. Much as I dislike UKIP, for them to get 3.8million votes and 1 seat, and the SNP to get 56 seats and a huge power base in a place they want to leave and don't care much for the other 55m people from 1.4m votes, shows up our representative democracy to be a total joke and nothing of the sort.

It's not the same argument. Let me give you a clue! Digital v. Analogue.
